"So, my previous guess was wrong..."
Zhang Yao's face showed a thoughtful look.
Over the past few days, in addition to understanding the basic formations, he has also pondered the profound meaning of the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" and gradually gained a deeper understanding.
He once thought that the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" should come from the ancient era of the world of immortality more than 10,000 years ago.
After all, only before the ancient great destruction occurred, the five spiritual roots were the "perfect spiritual roots", and they were qualified for the senior sages to create suitable top-level techniques.
But now, he has overturned this idea.
"The Five Elements Soul Containing Formation has only two effects - increasing the speed of cultivation and increasing the total amount of mana."
But spiritual roots have limits, and the speed of refining and breathing cannot be increased infinitely.
What's more, if it were the ancient times, the cultivation speed of the Five Spiritual Roots was still higher than that of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots. Let alone rely on the spirit gathering array, even if you soaked in the spiritual liquid pool every day, the cultivation efficiency would not be increased five times.
"Therefore, the effect of the Five Elements Soul Containing Formation obviously comes from the thinking after the great destruction of the ancient times, and is incompatible with before the ancient times..."
The real function of the Five Elements Spiritual Formation seems to be to make up for some innate defects of the five spirit roots in ancient times, so that it can achieve a five-fold improvement in the speed of cultivation in today's era.
This is enough to show that the predecessors and sages who created the "Wanhuadu Zhenzhen Sutra" lived in the era after ancient times.
"It seems that there may be a complicated story behind this top-notch technique..."
Zhang Yao thought of this, smiled lightly, didn't pay too much attention, and continued to immerse himself in comprehending the formation.
Time passed quietly little by little.
…………
Ten years later.
Deep in Panlong Ridge.
Zhang Yao stood in front of a mountain wall, invisible magic power surged out like a sharp blade.
The mountain wall in front of him was covered with dense and complex spiritual pattern formations, forming a special formation based on the five directions.
"Wow..."
Zhang Yao waved his sleeves, and the surface rocks of the mountain wall shattered and disintegrated, disintegrating into gravel and dust, flying in the wind.
"I have tried it thousands of times and have almost turned the method of constructing and engraving the 'Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation' into instinct."
He took a deep breath and looked firmly:
"It's time to officially waste all your efforts and rebuild!"
Zhang Yao turned around and left, returned to the cabin, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
He calmed down and used the magic method to dissipate his own magic power bit by bit.
The third level of Qi refining, the second level of Qi refining, the first level of Qi refining...
Half an hour later.
All of Zhang Yao's magic power has been reduced to nothing, and he has been transformed from a fourth-level Qi refining practitioner into a mortal.
He slowly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of thick air, and expressed emotion:
"A hundred years of hard work has come to nothing."
"But it's all worth it for the new future."
Although his magic power is gone, the realm he gained through hard training is still there. The Qi veins that have been opened do not need to be re-opened, and the bottleneck does not need to be broken through again.
As long as the "Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation" can be successfully constructed and the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" can be formally introduced, the reconstruction will be very fast.
besides:
The effect of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth washing the body and strengthening the body for hundreds of years has also been preserved.
If you add in the martial arts that he has already cultivated to the highest level in the world, and just look at the strength of his body, he is even comparable to the foundation-building monks who have cleansed their marrow and cut off their veins.
"Buzz!"
When I think together, the spiritual platform becomes empty and the sense of energy is regenerated.
Zhang Yao collected the earth-attribute spiritual energy all over his body and used his method to slowly guide the spiritual energy into his body and gather it in his spleen.
The five elements of the spleen belong to earth, which is the foundation of acquired nature. It mainly transports and transforms the essence of water and grain, enriches qi, blood and body fluids. It is in line with the thick and vast earth-attribute aura, and is the first step in building the "Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation".
"rise!"
Zhang Yao did not dare to neglect, and immediately used his mind as a knife and spiritual energy as a blade to carve spiritual patterns on his spleen.
The Five Elements Spirit Containing Formation is an extremely simplified and compressed formation. Each spirit pattern is hundreds of times smaller than the normal state in order to be carried by the five internal organs.
Constructing a complete array with such tiny spiritual patterns is no less difficult than carving a thousand-word article on grains of rice, requiring extremely fine sensing and manipulation.
"call……"
Zhang Yao was breathing heavily, and blue veins were visible on his forehead.
The five internal organs are naturally delicate and sensitive. Under the erosion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the flesh and blood tissue peels off and detaches bit by bit. The pain can be imagined.
But Zhang Yao remained silent and endured it without any wavering in his expression.
A quarter of an hour later:
Thanks to the fact that the five internal organs are as strong as foundation building and can withstand a large amount of spiritual energy erosion, Zhang Yao has made rapid progress and has already engraved less than half of the spiritual pattern array corresponding to his spleen.
But at this moment——
A slight peristalsis of the spleen and slight fluctuations in qi and blood caused the spiritual energy to lose control and suddenly went into chaos.
After a few breaths, the severe pain from the spleen slowly subsided, and the spiritual pattern formation that had been successfully engraved had basically dissipated.
"It was too difficult, and the first attempt failed..."
Zhang Yao shook his head, not looking too disappointed.
The human body is a whole, and the internal organs, flesh, muscles, and bones interact with each other. Any slight fluctuation will lead to the failure of the spiritual pattern inscription.
Zhang Yao was already prepared for this.
If he could succeed simply by trying a few times or a dozen times, then his estimated time would not be twenty years, but only ten years.
He sat cross-legged, without any ripples in his heart, and pondered in silence, reflecting on the experience of his first failure.
With his level of martial arts, he can even control nail growth, hair loss, and pore closure. Logically speaking, there should never be uncontrollable energy and blood fluctuations, causing the inscription to fail.
"Um……"
Zhang Yao pondered for a moment and gradually figured out the reason:
"There is a high probability that the impact of spiritual energy's erosion on the spleen is beyond my control."
"At this point, I have no relevant experience. I can only explore step by step and try to solve it slowly..."
Zhang Yao had long been prepared to try hundreds or thousands of times.
The qualifications of the Five Spiritual Roots are inherently flawed in today's era. If you want to be on an equal footing with the Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Foreign Spiritual Roots, this is the price that must be paid.
Including the pain of etching spiritual patterns on the five internal organs, one cannot try to block it, because the sense of pain is the most sensitive among the senses of touch. Once blocked, the sensitivity will decrease and the chance of failure will increase.
After a while, Zhang Yao swallowed a Bigu Pill to make up for the energy consumption, adjusted his breath for a while, and started his second attempt...
…………
In the blink of an eye, eight years have passed.
For eight years, Zhang Yao relied on the large amount of anti-epidemic pills he had accumulated to live a life of complete isolation from the outside world. He endured and practiced hard every day.
As time goes by, Zhang Yao's success rate in constructing the "Five Elements Containing Spirit Formation" has also been increasing despite repeated failures.
In the beginning, he could not even imprint success on the complete formation pulse on his spleen; later, he had a wealth of failure experience on the heart spirit pattern in the last step.
At noon that day, Zhang Yao sat cross-legged, skillfully inducing the earth attribute energy and channeling it into his spleen.
The unforgettable severe pain in the past has now become normal. It only took him less than half an hour to successfully complete the spiritual pattern formation on his spleen.
Immediately afterwards, the earthy spiritual energy dispersed, and the metallic spiritual energy poured into the body, and Zhang Yao guided it into his lungs with ease.
This is the "earth-born metal" where the five elements are in conflict.
The lungs are the canopy of the five internal organs, controlling the circulation of breath and regulating the various meridians. The release and release of lung qi, the suppression of the spiritual qi that conforms to the golden line, is the second step in constructing the formation.
Half an hour later, the spiritual patterns on the lungs were engraved, and the spiritual energy turned into water attribute and was introduced into the kidneys.
The kidneys are the foundation of the innate body. They store essence, absorb qi, and reconcile yin and yang. They belong to water among the five elements and correspond to the heart fire. This is the third step in constructing the formation.
More than half an hour passed.
After the spiritual patterns on the kidneys are engraved, the spiritual energy turns into the wood attribute and flows into the liver.
The liver stores blood and is connected with the spring energy. It is the most energetic among the five internal organs. It matches the aura of the wood attribute of the five elements and is the fourth step in constructing the formation.
This step was more complicated, but after spending an hour, it was still completed without any setbacks. The whole process was smooth and smooth, obviously the experience gained from countless failures.
finally--
The spiritual energy of the five elements is transformed into the fire attribute, flows through the four major organs, and merges into the heart.
The heart is the sovereign official among the five internal organs. It governs the mind and blood vessels. It is ranked as the "master of the five internal organs". It is the most important organ in the human body, alongside the marrow sea of the brain.
The heart is the yang of yang, connected with the summer energy, and is undoubtedly the vital energy of heaven and earth that matches the fire attribute.
Earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth.
Only by completing the inscription of the spiritual pattern array on the heart can the cycle of the five elements be truly constructed, which will be endless from then on and automatically become the core of the whole body's energy channels and spiritual energy breathing.
Zhang Yao's face was calm, and the severe pain could no longer make him frown even a little.
Under his meticulous control, the fire-attributed spiritual energy of heaven and earth carved densely packed tiny spiritual patterns on the heart, building up a complete array bit by bit.
Without a doubt, this is the most difficult step.
The heart is the source of qi and blood. A slight fluctuation will cause the qi and blood of the whole body to be in chaos, let alone engraving spiritual patterns on the heart.
The spiritual pattern on the heart is the most complex and needs to be the central master to connect the spiritual pattern formation veins of the first four internal organs to make it a complete formation.
Zhang Yao was blocked by this step for three full years and failed countless times.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Under Zhang Yao's control, his heart beat smoothly and forcefully, ignoring the erosion of the fire attribute aura.
It was not until two hours later that the fire-attribute spiritual energy flowed and gathered, outlining the last stroke of the spiritual pattern formation.
At this point, the Five Elements Soul Containing Formation is finally completed.
"Uh-huh?!"
Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, showing a hint of surprise.
"It actually worked this time? So smoothly?!"
His heart was immediately filled with joy, and there was a trace of excitement and expectation that he had not seen for a long time.
The next moment:
"Buzz!"
The spiritual patterns of the five internal organs are connected and nested with each other, instantly turning into a complete formation.
Zhang Yao's thoughts were in harmony with it, and he used the Xuan Gong method to capture the "sense of energy" again, and he immediately felt a completely different treatment.
The five elements of spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be attracted by a huge magnet. They poured in continuously, automatically merged into his body, and wandered in the energy veins.
With the five internal organs as the center, the spiritual energy of the five elements traveled along the energy channels for a long time, and then began to rapidly transform into mana, accumulating small amounts into large amounts, and hundreds of rivers gathered together.
The efficiency of the entire process was vastly different from when he first practiced the "Thick Earth Technique"!
"This speed is really amazing!"
Zhang Yao couldn't help but hold his breath.
Even though he had expected it, he was still shocked by it at this moment.
He has been in the immortal way for more than a hundred years and has always struggled to practice. Now he can roughly feel how abnormal the cultivation efficiency of geniuses such as Tianlinggen and Yilinggen is!
Even if it is the same spiritual environment and the same technique, someone else's practice in one year can be as good as yours in several years.
If one enters a large sect and gets key training, and there is no shortage of spiritual elixir resources, and then practices a top-level skill that matches the zodiac signs, the gap between them will be widened to an unimaginable extent.
"call!"
Zhang Yao took a few deep breaths, and there was a hint of emotion in his expression:
"After painstaking planning and many twists and turns, I finally stand on the same starting line as those proud men of heaven."
"It's a long road to immortality, and today we have finally entered the right path."
The "Thick Earth Technique" he once practiced had a low upper limit and was just a springboard for him.
Today's "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" points directly to the path to heaven through refining the formation into the body, which is the path he really wants to practice.
He has the talent of immortality, and he practices top-notch techniques——
Zhang Yao has the confidence to complete this long fairy road and appreciate the charming scenery at high altitudes.
…
Time flies like water, and another nine years have passed.
The place of spiritual spring, in the cabin.
"Buzz!"
The whirlpool of heaven and earth spiritual energy reappeared, pouring down.
Half an hour later.
Zhang Yao adjusted his breath, slowly opened his eyes, and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"After nine years of rebuilding, I finally returned to the fourth level of Qi Refining."
This speed, compared to the more than eighty years of hard training he had spent in the past, was a huge difference.
This is still in the land of Lingquan, and the spiritual environment is poor. If it were replaced in Tiandu Mountain, it would only take six or seven years.
"When these spiritual herbs mature, you can leave."
"Take advantage of these last few months to practice those high-level spells to further enhance your strength."
Zhang Yao thought of this, got up and left the cabin, and went to take care of the spiritual field.
